Where has God brought good out of harm in your life?
Read it in contextGenesis 50:17–23
17 ‘Tell Joseph this: Please, I beg you, pardon your brothers’ offense and their sin, since they did evil to you.’ So now, please pardon the offense of the servants of your father’s God.” Joseph wept as they spoke to him. 18 His brothers also came themselves and fell down in front of him. “Look, we are your slaves,” they said. 19 Joseph answered them, “Do not be afraid. Do I take the place of God? 20 You devised evil against me, but God devised it for good, so that he might bring about what is happening today—keeping many people alive. 21 So now, do not be afraid. I myself will take care of you and your little ones.” He comforted them and spoke to their hearts. 22 Joseph and his father’s household lived on in Egypt, and Joseph lived to be 110 years old. 23 He lived to see Ephraim’s descendants to the third generation, and the sons of Machir, Manasseh’s son, were also born on Joseph’s knees.
